I'll try it out and see if it can remain smooth with multiple HD streams. I guess I figured that if it's using 100% of the CPU, limiting it would make it all choppy. Yeah, like I mentioned above, I'm running an AMD CPU. I have issues using hardware encoding when it comes to converting recordings myself so i don't suggest using the hardware encoding but again experiment and see what fits your needs best. If you run a linux server add emby to the video group and test out using vaapi hardware acceleration, this can also lessen the burden on your cpu. Vaapi is a type of hardware acceleration, if you have a semi modern intel cpu ( by semi modern almost anything less than 10 years old ) it is likely supported and you might even have the drivers built in. VLC i find useful to use as an external player but that is just my preference i encourage checking it out but to each his own in that regard. You might have to do a bit of trial and error with it to find a balance of how many threads it takes to transcode smoothly on your system. Setting a thread limit especially on a system with so many physical cores can be helpful to not instantaneously max out the cpu's if something requires transcoding. Do you have any detail as to what that is and how it might help? I'll look again at the Xbox app when I get home. I see the external player option on my Android. I do believe that there is a VLC app for the Xbox. My plan is to use Xbox Ones for each TV, so ideally, I'd use the Emby app in there.Īny thoughts? I love the Emby interface, especially compared to Kodi, so I'd like to stay with it if I can make it work. Is this just expected behavior of the different apps? Does it all boil down to using AMD? Is AMD just crap for transcoding? It seems like the Kodi app is playing the stream natively with no transcoding, or maybe the client is doing the transcoding. There isn't enough left on the media server for Emby to safely run 2 streams without some pausing going on. If I use the Emby Theater Windows app, the media server CPU goes up to about 50-60% and the laptop CPU hits about 50%. My client CPU, currently my laptop using the Kodi app from the Windows Store, gets close to topping out, but that's ok as that only affects me and I get no pausing. If I use NextPVR with Kodi, the CPU on the media server barely even notices. It's an AMD FX, which runs at 4.09GHz with 8 logical cores (4 physical). It gets better with lower resolutions and bit rates, but there is no way I could stream multiple TVs with this setup. My issue is with Live TV. The issue is during transcoding live TV, my CPU gets crushed under a single stream. In the event you’re setting up a cable provider and find missing channels, please report this in the forums.I just installed the beta version of Emby and am using a Hauppauge quad tuner. Emby Server is very flexible and allows you to add multiple guides so please make use of this functionality if you need to. Don’t be afraid to try a few postal codes to get the guide data you need. Sometimes you may need to try a different postal code closer to the broadcast towers. If you are fortunate enough to be able to pick up channels from separate broadcast markets this will almost always be the case (need for additional guide data provider). Often times if you are close to market boundaries you may have to add a 2nd guide using a different postal code. This can happen especially with OTA guide data. Note: In some cases you may find channels missing from the guide. Click the 3 dot menu on the next screen you get which will be the same as above. Click the left most column that has the station information. You can do the same thing from the Guide itself. You can now select the Guide Provider to use as well as the station from that Guide.Ĭlick the Save Button when done editing this channel. Click the 3 dot menu to the right on any channel you wish to edit.Ĭlick the Edit button on the popup screen. You can manually change any channel by picking the guide, then the Station.įrom the Live TV menu, click the Channel tab at the top of the screen. The last thing to do after setting up your tuner and guide data provider is to map your channel lineup.Įmby Server will try to automate matching of your channels to any guides you have setup for this tuner.
